Text Ø First of all, they are both lonely: The boy is lonely because he is alone in a foreign country with his parents; the woman is lonely because she has lost her dear husband and besides she is not in good health. Therefore, they find consolation in each other’s company. But they have another important bond— their common interest in nature. For the boy the Wood is his private paradise, and for the woman it is part of her husband’s legacy. The boy is full of curiosity about the mysteries of nature, and the woman might be said to hold the key to the treasuries of human knowledge, being married to a professor of biology
